The supermarket took to Instagram to share: 'Our VIRAL Big Daddy Pistachio is BACK in stock and has your name written all over it! 'If you missed out the first time, we'll forgive you, but don't let yourself miss out again on this heavenly bar of signature rich, creamy milk chocolate layered with gooey sweet and salty caramel, filled with a chunky pistachio layer with roasted pistachios, velvety pistachio creme and a light, biscuit crumb. 'Snack responsibly… or don't, we're not judging.' You can pick up their Big Daddy Pistachio in your local M&S Foodhall or on Ocado. Chocolate fans were quick to rush to the comments to share their happiness that the bar is back. One said: 'When I get my hands on one of these, I'm not sharing it!' Another added: 'Finally got one yesterday and it's sooo good.' Meanwhile, a third wrote: 'I STILL CAN'T GET MY HANDS ON IT.' The Big Daddy Pistachio is actually an update on Marks and Spencer's insanely popular Big Daddy bar that had shoppers in a frenzy in 2024. You asked, we delivered' says Irish supermarket as viral chocolate lands in stores but 'they won't last' Like the Big Daddy, this new chocolate treat has layers of thick milk chocolate, gooey sweet and salty caramel and a light and crunchy biscuit crumb. Shoppers raved about the product, calling it the "best chocolate bar ever." However, it also has the brand new chunky pistachio layer, inspired by the hugely popular Dubai chocolate trend. The scrumptious treat first landed on shelves on April 23. The posh supermarket has said it developed the new chocolate bar over nine months "to ensure absolute perfection." The Big Daddy Pistachio currently costs £8.50 for a 280g bar. 5 Their Pistachio bar is an update of their original The Big Daddy chocolate bar Credit: M&S 5 You can pick up their Big Daddy Pistachio in your local M&S Foodhall or on Ocado Credit: Getty Although this may seem expensive, it is still much cheaper than the original Dubai chocolate, that the M&S bar is based on. The decadent treat has gone viral on social media over the past few months, with videos on the pistachio filled snack amassing over six million views. The indulgent chocolate bar, which has a green filling made from pistachio and a traditional Arab dessert called Knafeh, often comes with a hefty price tag, with single bars retailing online for more than £20. Since the treat went viral, many retailers such as Lidl have launched their own versions of the bar, at much cheaper prices. 5 The Big Daddy Pistachio originally launched at M&S on April 23 M&S has also teased more "exciting pistachio launches" in the coming months, including chocolate, cookies, desserts and even a Pistachio and Honey Baking Feta. Lidl's £3.99 version of the Dubai chocolate was so popular that it initially sold out in just 84 minutes. Meanwhile Morrisons has been selling larger 100g bars of Bolci Dubai-style chocolate for just £5.

Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars.

Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.

The 7 Best Feel-Good Movies Streaming on Netflix Right Now
Sometimes, you just need to sit down and watch something that will make you feel good. The world is stressful, and you deserve it. In the world of streaming though, it can be overwhelming to figure out what to watch and where to find it. So, we're here to try and take some of that burden off of you. For now, we're going to stick to just one streamer you might be mindlessly scrolling through: Netflix. Below, you can find seven movies that always lift our spirits, and hopefully help you decide what to watch today. Adam Sandler has plenty of early gems to choose from, but we'll always go back to 'Big Daddy.' It's the perfect blend of comedy and heartwarming story, and doesn't get overly reliant on cheap jokes. Plus, who can resist the cuteness of baby Sprouse twins? It's Sandler and his usual crew, plus Leslie Mann, Jon Stewart — and in a true character, not as himself, which is delightful — and Joey Lauren Adams. The entire 'Paddington' franchise really is a winner, but only the latest installment is currently streaming on Netflix. Still, it's a great feel-good watch. 'Paddington in Peru' is all about the true beauty of found family, but it still contains its classic hijinks and marmalade sandwiches. This time, though, it also includes Olivia Colman as a singing nun, and boy, does she give a great 'Sound of Music' impression. 'Paddington in Peru' may admittedly get you a bit emotional, but we promise it'll (probably) be happy tears. Sometimes you just need a good old-fashioned rom-com, and it's hard to go wrong with '13 Going on 30.' You get Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo at their best, and even dancing to 'Thriller' at one point. You get Judy Greer and Andy Serkis, you get a little bit of time travel (kind of), and most importantly, you get a heartwarming story about how our choices can change things. If this movie doesn't make you feel good at the end, it might be time for some reflecting. Fair warning on this one, it is extremely vulgar in terms of language. Olivia Colman is decidedly not a nun in this one, though her father would prefer she live the life of one. As a result, she grows hateful and rebellious, and sends poison pen letters to everyone in town in secret. Is it jarring to hear her repeatedly referred to as Ms. Swan? Yes, that will always make us think of Keira Knightley in 'Pirates of the Caribbean.' But nonetheless, 'Wicked Little Letters' is a fun way to spend a little over an hour and a half. Every now and then, you just need to sing it out. 'Trolls' is the perfect movie to do that with, and it's family-friendly as an added bonus. Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake have great vocal chemistry, the song arrangements are pretty great, and the animation is gorgeous, too. There's a reason the anthem of this movie is 'Can't Stop the Feeling!' — It's because you can't help but groove along by the end of it. Kristen Bell is pretty reliable for feel-good films, and 'Like Father' falls in that category. It follows a woman named Rachel (Bell) as she reunites with her estranged father (Kelsey Grammer) on what was supposed to be her honeymoon. But, when she gets left at the altar, she drunkenly invites her dad on the cruise instead. This movie is certainly trope-heavy and even a bit absurd at times, but it's also pretty delightful and made us laugh a whole lot. We definitely think it's worth giving a try. If you missed this one in theaters earlier this year, you'll want to check it out now. 'One of Them Days' is a buddy comedy starring Keke Palmer and SZA, and yes, their chemistry as a duo is exactly as good as you'd hope it'd be. Taking place over the course of one day, Alyssa (SZA) and Dreux (Palmer) scramble to raise money to make rent, after Alyssa's deadbeat boyfriend takes the money they originally saved for it. There's heart, there's humor, and there's hijinks. We promise it's a good time. The post The 7 Best Feel-Good Movies Streaming on Netflix Right Now appeared first on TheWrap.
